November 13 - 15, 2017
Tutorials: November 13, 2017
Haifa, Israel - Organized by IBM Research - Haifa
HVC Facebook page
----------------------------------------------------------------
HVC is an annual conference dedicated to advancing the state-of the art
and state-of-the-practice in verification and testing. At the conference,
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry network, share
ideas, and ponder the future directions of testing and verification for
hardware, software, and complex hybrid systems.
The common goal of the conference topics and participants is to ensure the
correct functionality and performance of complex systems. HVC is the only
conference that brings together experts from all verification and testing
sub-fields, thereby encouraging the migration of methods and ideas among
domains.
HVC 2017 invites the submission of technical papers reporting original
research and experience results in all sub-fields of testing and
verification applicable to software and hardware. The conference includes
the presentation of peer-reviewed, original technical papers, as well as
lectures by guests from industry and academia.

Special theme this year: verification for security
In addition to the traditional HVC topics (see below), we plan at least
one session dedicated to the research and application of verification
techniques in security. At least one of our invited keynote talks will be
dedicated to this topic.
New this year: tool demos category
In addition to the research and poster sessions, we plan to hold a tool
demos session.
The conference proceedings will be published in Springer?s Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series (LNCS), and distributed in digital format to
registered conference participants.

Venue:
The lovely city of Haifa resides on a mountain overlooking the
Mediterranean Sea, and is home to Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Haifa is
also the world center of the Baha?i faith, and the wondrous Baha?i gardens
are a must-see attraction. The conference will be held at IBM Research -
Haifa, situated at the top of the Carmel mountains.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Student grants:
We anticipate a number of student grants to cover part of the travel
expenses for full-time students who are authors of accepted papers.
Precedence in allocation of these travel grants will be to students who
are also presenting a poster at the conference.
